Moles 

Moles prefer soft soil close to rivers, streams and other waterways and spend most of their time underground in tunnels.

Living and feeding primarily underground in their complex system of burrows and tunnels, moles only come to the surface occasionally to gather nesting materials.

Moles feed almost exclusively on soil insects- earthworms and grubs are the most important food sources.

 

 

Facts 

Mole Facts

Moles belong to the shrew order, a group of mammals that eat insects.

 

Body
Moles have thick, heavyset bodies 4 to 6 inches long; long, naked snouts; short tails and short, powerful legs. Their front legs are sickle shaped with five-fingered clawed "hands" to help with burrowing and earth moving. Their short, velvety coats are brown or blackish brown above with lighter colors underneath.
Eyes & Ears
Their small, almost blind eyes are hidden by a skin membrane on their coat. They have no external ears, but they can still hear very well.
Diet
Worms and insects
Home
A mole's tunnel can be up to 3' deep.  The entrance is typically a circular entrance plugged with earth.  The tunnels that you see on the surface are temporary and may never be used again.  The deep tunnels are part of the mole's permanent territory 

 

Moles have a tremendous appetite and can consume nearly half its own weight in food daily.

Roots, bulbs and tubers of plants are not target food sources, but may be damaged indirectly as moles dig through the ground in search of grubs and earthworms. Plant parts may subsequently be eaten by mice, which use mole tunnels for protection and as avenues to food supplies


 


Havahart® offers a variety of mole control solutions such as
mole repellents to help you with your mole control needs.
